J Money (Feat. Yung Booke) - Whip [Propane Media Submitted]

Atlanta rapper, J Money, formerly known as J Futuristic, was born in
Atlanta, Georgia on August 5, 1985. He was one of four children raised
in a single-parent home in the projects. During his youth he was in
and out of trouble and detentions centers.

He first got started as a rapper with the Black Migo Gang group, which
included Future and Young Scooter. J Money is known for his hit,
"First Name, Last Name". Last year he was shot six times while
preparing a video shoot for his new single, "Hold Up". The gunfire
came without warning. J Money was shot in his calf, arm, back and leg.
"[They] just started coming from everywhere," he told RapFix. "Like a
hundred shots. It just came from everywhere, man. It was crazy. It was
a nightmare."

J Money, who changed his name in 2008, felt that his new single, "Hold
Up," was a potential turning point in his career as it underscored his
mindset of separating his music from the streets. Jtakes his survival
as a sign of God’s way to develop his character. He feels he is called
to keep going with his music. "I'm here for music, so that's what I'm
going to do till I die. And God ain't ready for me to die," he said.
"I just want to touch people through my music and put out a positive
message."

While still recovering, J is currently working on a new mixed tape,
The Medication. The mixed tape is noe available for download hosted by
DJ Scream and DJ Holiday on Livemixtapes.
